Brian Ashworth 3e8f548d1d Revamp seat configs
This makes seat configs work like output and input configs do. This also
adds support for wildcard seat configs. A seat config is still created
in the main seat command handler, but instead of creating a new one in
the subcommands and destroying the main seat command's instance, the
seat subcommands modify the main one. The seat config is then stored,
where it is merged appropriately. The seat config returned from
`store_seat_config` is then applied. When attempting to apply a wildcard
seat config, a seat specific config is queried for and if found, that is
used. Otherwise, the wildcard config is applied directly.

Additionally, instead of adding input devices to the default seat
directly when there is no seat configs, a seat config for the default
seat is created with only fallback set to true, which is more explicit.
It also fixes an issue where running a seat command at runtime (with no
seat config in the sway config), would result in all input devices being
removed from the default seat and leaving sway in an unusable state.

Also, instead of checking for any seat config, the search is for a seat
config with a fallback option seat. This makes it so if there are only
seat configs with fallback set to -1, the default seat is still created
since there is no explicit notion on what to do regarding fallbacks.
However, if there is even a single fallback 0, then the default seat is
not used as a fallback. This will be needed for seat subcommands like
hide_cursor where the user may only want to set that property without
effecting anything else.

Installation

From Packages

Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for yours. If it's not available, check out this wiki page for information on installation for your distributions.

If you're interested in packaging sway for your distribution, stop by the IRC channel or shoot an email to sir@cmpwn.com for advice.

Compiling from Source

Install dependencies:

  • meson *
  • wlroots
  • wayland
  • wayland-protocols *
  • pcre
  • json-c
  • pango
  • cairo
  • gdk-pixbuf2 **
  • pam (optional: PAM support for swaylock)
  • scdoc (optional: man pages) *
  • git *

*Compile-time dep

**optional: required for swaybg and swaylock

Run these commands:

meson build
ninja -C build
sudo ninja -C build install

On systems without logind, you need to suid the sway binary:

sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway

Sway will drop root permissions shortly after startup.

Configuration

If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to ~/.config/sway/config and it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to ~/.config/sway/config. It is usually located at /etc/sway/config. Run man 5 sway for information on the configuration.

Running

Run sway from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
